At night in each other's arms,

Content, overjoyed, resting deep deep down in the darkness,

Lo! the heavens opened and He appeared-

Whom no mortal eye may see,

Whom no eye clouded with Care,

Whom none who seeks after this or that, whom none who has not escaped from self.

 

There- in the region of Equality, in the world of Freedom no longer limited,

Standing as a lofty peak in heaven above the clouds,

From below hidden, yet to all who pass into that region most clearly visible-

He the Eternal appeared.
